AIDS is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. On average a child loses a parent to AIDS every 14 seconds of every day. In the face of this tragic healthcare crisis, over 60,000 dedicated volunteers and family members are caring for victims struggling to live with HIV in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Sadly many of these tireless caregivers don't even have the most basic items needed to help prolong lives and comfort the sick or even to protect themselves from infection.
Through World Vision, we are coordinating an effort to provide 10,000 Caregiver Kits to a select region in Africa. These kits equip caregivers with the practical materials they need to bring dignity and comfort to those living with AIDS. These kits include basic supplies like washcloths, latex gloves, antibacterial soap, and medications that improve and prolong the lives of those living with AIDS while protecting caregivers and preventing the spread of infection.
Each kit costs $30, and your gift of any amount will help equip caregivers with the practical materials they need. Donating through this site is simple, safe, and totally secure. Through the work of World Vision, there is hope in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Together we can make a lasting difference in lives affected by AIDS! Thank you for caring.
